Another Rate War.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Y esterday was
the last day on which east bound rail
roads were selling excursion tickets to
eastern and New England points at
one fare for the round trip, and all the
lines did heavy business. 1t is
claimed that the scalpers both in the
east and in Chicago have been supplied
with enough of these cheap tick
cts to enable them to cut regu-
lar tariff rates for some time to come.
The pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio railroads have not participated
i'll tile sale of these low priced tickets,
and as soon as they find that trunk
line territory is being affected by the
manipulation of the teachers tickets
by the scalpers, these roads will kick
up such row as to lead to general
reduction in east bound passenger
rates, until the cheap tickets now in
the market. have been disposed of, and
will no longer interfere with the main
tenance of agreed tariff rates.

IMMENSE OIL FIRE.
The Standard Company Badly Dam.
aged at Jersey CITY.

JERSEY City, N. j.. July ga fire
which originated in the Standard oil
works at Constable Hook about 1890
this morning ragged furiously until
after day break, and was not
under control until nearly 10
o'clock. 1t is estimated that ST.
100000 worth of property was
destroyed. Two large warehouses, three
immense tanks. four big decks and
about ten thousand barrels of oil were
licked up by the flames. There is
no insurance. Wild excitement pre-
vailed in the village as explosion
after explosion threw the burning
embers and oil over the
adjoining property, and for time it
was believed everything would be de-
stroyed. A quarter of mile along the
river sheds, warehouses, docks, etc.
were ablaze, and vessels were compelled
to move out of danger. AS far as
learned no one was injured.

New Scheme of Rebates.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-Before the inter-
state commerce law went into effect
the favorite practice of the railroads
who desired to cut rates and discrim-
mate in favor of large shippers was to
grant rebates. This being prohibited
by the new law, some of the western
roads have hit upon plan by which
they will still be able to discriminate
in favor of certain shippers. Instead
of granting rebates these roads, it is
claimed, are now paying commissions
to parties securing them business.
While these roads pretend to pay such
commissions to freight solicitors only,
yet it can easily be seen that the COM
mission can be paid to any member of
a large firm on pretense that such par
ty is a freight solicitor and consequent
ly determinations IN favor of certain
firms or shippers can be practiced to
the same extent as ii rebates were
still being paid. The practice of pay
ing commissions for the sale of tickets
has long been and still is in use by most
of the roads, but has never been toler-
ated on freight business. The applica-
tion of the commission principle upon
freight traffic by some of the roads is
likely to bring the commission ques-
tlon to a focus. Several of the roads
declare that If the practice of paying
commissions for the procurement of
freight is not stopped at once they
will meet the amount of commissions
paid with an open reduction in tariff
rates.

DIR. M'GLYNN REPLIES.
He Holds That He Has not Been LIE.
gally Excommunicated.

NEW YORK. July 21.-Dr. McGlynn's
reply to the notice of his excommuca-
tion will appear in this weeks Stand
ard. -Four or five days reflection has
not caused him to change in the least
the defiant attitude that he assumed
on Sunday evening toward his former
ecclesiastical superiors. At the same
time there is a manifest effort through
out what he says to justify his course
from the beginning. He gives to the
public for the first time his final sum
mons to Rome, which was sent him in
May; denounces the way in which he
was addressed in it by the cardinal
prefect of the Propaganda, but attri-
butes that prelates feelings toward
him to the one sided and numerous let
ters sent to Rome against the doctor by
Archbishop Corrigan. He also attempts
to prove that his case was prejudiced at
Rome, and that he was called there to
be disciplined rather than for trial.
Speaking of his having partaken of
the holy communion last Sunday. DR..
McGlynn says he did so because he
holds that he has not been legally ex-
communicated. He would not enter
any church and raise disturbance in
order to partake of the holy eucharist.
He would receive it from any friendly
priest who believed as he does, but in
quiet way, in order not to get friend
in trouble. If all priests refuse him,
he holds that he, being still a priest
may administer it, and that he will
partake of the emblems from his own
hands. One paper publishes the state
ment that DR.. bicGlynn has consulted
three eminent jurists with view to
testing his case in the courts on plea
that the authorities have boycotted
him, and are guilty moreover of defa-
nation of character and libel. If this
position is legally tenable it is asserted
that Archbishop Corrigan can be in
dicted.

or Interest to Dry Goods Men.

CHICAGO, July l9.-The national as
sociation of boot and shoe dealers is
in annual session here today. Two
hundred and fifty delegates represent
ing the principal cities are present.
Among the subjects considered is the
effect upon the retail trade of the ex-
tensive sales of boots and shoes
throughout the country, by dry goods
houses. A proposition will be made
to boycott wholesalers that sell to dry
goods houses. The subject ls likely to
lead to animated discussion.

ment by cable that the executors of
the estate of the late ex-governor
Samuel j. 'Fillen has proi,ated his will
in England i'll order to assure jurisdic-
tion over the large English estate, was
a surprise to but very few of the dead
stateman's friends. 1t was not gener-
ally known that he had an English
estate. The value of his English prop
erty is 138,O0O pounds. A friend of Mr..
Tilden i'll this city says that most of
the investments are in consels bought
at low prices and that they now are
worth from 100000 to $4,000.

$4,000 for a Three. Year.Old.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The Brooklyn
turfmen, Phillip and Michael Dwyer.
have purchased Snedecker's great
three-year-old colt, Kingston, that
stood in the way of Hanover's triumph
in the three-year-old stakes yet to be
decided at Monmouth Park, Sheepshead
Bay, Saratoga, jerome Park and
the Brooklyn jockey club track.
With Kingston and Hanover
in their stable all the three
year-old stakes are at their mercy, and
no other stable has an animal that can
push Hanover to his best. The clev-
erness Of the Dwyers is shown by TAX
ing the Barnegat stakes, to be run
next Thursday. as an illustration. In
this stake Hanover would have to
carry 1875 pounds because of penalties
for stakes won, while Kingston would
only have 113 pounds. This would in
sure the defeat of Hanover if he
started. and so the Dwyers would have
to let Hanover stay in the stable
while Kingston won the rich
prize. Hanover would have had to
meet Kingston at disadvantage in
many of the new stakes, and this hard
work might have broken him down.
Now the Dryers will divide the stakes
between the two colts and probably
win by their efforts about $4,000.
Hanover has already won for them
this year $4,000. Kingston would
have started against Hanover Satur-
day in the Stockton had not the Dwy-
ers purchased him. He will probably
wear their colors for the first time in
the Rarnegat stable next Thursday.
The price said to have been paid for
Kingston is $4,000.

CHAPTER. XIX

Roger returned saddened and Mortified from
the bedside of Julia, who, he now knew, had
willed, probably designed, his ruin, and now
all that had been hidden in that poor BOYS
heart was plain to him. Added to this
thought was the fear of losing his only child
and he began to wish he had never left Amer
lea, where they had been Mt peace. But
what was done was done. lie now had to
think Of her and her happiness only, that was
if she lived.
When he reached the house at daybreali he
almost feared to enter the room, but he mus
tered what courage he could and opened the
door softly and made two steps forward.
when he saw Suzanne lying with her beauti.
full violet eyes, now preternaturally large,
wide open and sweet smile upon her lips,
and she stretched out her hands, saying fee
bly,:
"Oh, father, how happy aml'
Roger held out his arms to Raymond, who,
after one minute Of hesitation, threw himself
into Roger Laroque's embrace.
Raymond knew from Rogers eyes that his
mother was dead but neither dared say II
word before Suzanne, and as her father
kissed her tendcrly be said:
81 am obliged to send Raymond away from
you for a day or two, my child, ON business
that brooks of no delay; but you viii he
bravo and spare him, VIII you not! For your

"Laroque! Laroque" said he, falling on his
knees, which refused longer to support him

mannikin which Roger had made to receive
the murderous blows.
"Roger Laroque, after ten years."

THE Louisville Commercial very properly
characterizes the acquittal of the Rowan

Such trials are more disgraceful than the
murders. The Commercial says: sShortly
after court adjourned on Saturday four of the

general opinion that hostilities will be re-
sumed just as after the soldiers leave

new Governor of Kentucky could not do bet
ter work for the State or win more credit for
himself than by rolling up his official sleeves
and putting an end once for all to these bloody
feuds. There is law enough in Kentucky if
it were only enforced, and it ought to be
somebody's duty TO see that it is.
